Why Not Renovating Your Pool Could Be Costing You

Your pool serves its function by providing fun for the occasional pool party and cooling your family down during the summer. Why renovate it if it’s getting the job done, right? Wrong! Not updating your pool could be costing you more than you know.

While you might think that embarking on more swimming pool construction in Buckhead is unnecessary, check out these ways you could be losing money.

Faded vinyl liners. Your vinyl liner was designed to last for 10 to 15 years. If it’s been longer than that or if your pool is exposed to the sun’s rays more than normal, it could be time for a replacement. Tearing, wrinkling, and leaking liners cost you money both in water and repairs. A leak could affect the area surrounding your pool and cost you more to keep your pool filled. Plus, over time, this type of damage could cost you even more if a disastrous repair is needed.

Old pool equipment. Filters, electrical components, and even skimmer baskets have come a long way over the years. They have become more efficient and use much less power and chemicals than they used to. Many pool cleaners can even be computer controlled to make maintenance easier than ever. If your pool equipment is more than a few years old, you could be paying more to heat, clean, and maintain your pool than you should be. Swapping out components and changing your filter to something more up to date could end up saving you a fortune in the long run.

Safety hazards. Your pool itself without the proper supervision could be considered a safety hazard. If you have loose tiles, faulty lighting, or broken pool equipment, your pool is an accident waiting to happen. These problems could cause serious injury to your friends and family members. If this happens, you could be held liable for the incident. Protect your loved ones and your wallet by keeping your pool up to date with all the modern safety features.

Deteriorating surfaces around your pool. It’s normal for the surface around your pool to crack, blister, or become discolored over time. It’s not normal to ignore these signs, though. Rust, spots, and other issues are signs that your pool is in need of repair. If you choose to do nothing when this form of deterioration shows up, it could cause major problems to your pool down the line. It will cost you more in the future to repair the problem than to simply update your surfaces now.

Out-of-date pool covers. You depend on your pool cover to prevent your pool from being damaged by leaves and debris while it is out of use. If your pool cover is older, it may not work as well as it should. New pool covers are designed to be efficient, durable, and safe. Keep yourself from having to pay to fix a broken filter due to the build-up of leaves by replacing your pool cover now.

Taking care of your pool is important. Frequently updating your pool is the best way to keep it safe and avoid costly repairs in the future.
